WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

By purchasing a ticket, you’re helping to ensure that our friends at Special Olympics have the resources they need to safely return to the sport programs they love this summer.

This event not only brings awareness to the Special  Olympics movement, but creates a safe and inclusive environment where people with and without intellectual disabilities can interact, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The Gala is an opportunity to put your brand on the social and cultural map in Calgary. It’s also a reward with a conscience for your associates and clients, as an opportunity to network with like minded corporate Sponsors and VIP’s.

Sponsors and VIPs will enjoy early access to the Gala for an exclusive cocktail reception with gourmet passed hors d’oeuvres;  live entertainment; an exclusive raffle; meet & greet opportunities with the incredible Special Olympics athletes!

motionball remains committed to the health and safety of our guests, volunteers and
the Special Olympics athletes. We will ensure this years Gala aligns with local public health guidelines
and the Special Olympics Alberta return-to-play guidelines.

motionball is proud to donate 70% of the funds raised from motionball Calgary events to Special Olympics Alberta. This funding is directed to support programs for local athletes in the community. 25% is directed to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation, whose mission is to ensure the long-term financial integrity of the Special Olympics movement in Canada and to fund long term athlete and volunteer growth. The remaining 5% will help grow the #NoGoodWay Campaign aiming to end the use of the R-word (retard) in everyday conversation. We’re encouraging Canadians to make the choice to eliminate the R-word from their vocabulary and empower them to take #NoGoodWay to their circles of influence.

motionball’s mandate is to introduce the next generation of volunteers and donors to the Special Olympics movement through integrated social and sporting events. motionball now hosts 50+ annual events across Canada. motionball is proud to have donated $15M to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation since our inception in 2002.
